What day of the week did your chicks hatch? They started hatching on Monday!
Did your chicks hatch when you were at school? Some of them had already hatched when we got to school but the rest hatched while we were in school.
Did you have any eggs that didn't hatch? No
From Mrs. Poulin's Kindergarten Class
Did you have fun with the project?
Yes, holding them was fun and petting them!
Did you learn anything?
We learned that they go potty a lot, they need light to feel warm, they need food and water. We also learned that all chickens can lay all different color eggs. They make noise right away.
Will anyone get to bring them home?
No, our chicks went back to a farm.
Do you know if they are boys or girls?
No, we don't know.
Did you name them yet?
Yes, we named them: Banana Fluff, Long Neck, Little Star Yellow, Charlotte, Stripey, Loudy, Blacky
Observations from Mrs. Lesher's Class at EA - 5/7/13:
"I picked up a yellow one and it was soft!"
"Some chicks are black."
"Some chicks are brown."
"The chicks are very cool."
"They are cute and really little and soft."
"They are really hairy and soft."
"I noticed that the yellow chick had a little yellow tooth at the end of its beak and it helped it hatch."
"I wonder why some of them are black?"
"I noticed that one chick jumped out of my hand, I think it was nervous."
"I think the gold chicks will turn our like Lucky and the black chicks will turn out like Blackey."
"He fell out of my hand and into the water."
"I heard a lot of chirping."
"They have big web feet."
"Mty friend used two hands to hold the chick."
